First, economic integration is of crucial importance for the stability of the economic dynamics in a currency union. Second, when...

With rising customer expectations and increasing computational potential, many transportation services face real-time decision making in stochastic and dynamic environments. They often need to find and adapt complex plans that are effective now but also flexible with respect to future...
